2016 VINTAGE The fifth year of the prolonged California drought delivered sunny, dry conditions, prompting an early budbreak with minimal frost pressure. The balance of the season presented warm growing conditions, with temperate conditions through the harvest period. At Vine Hill Ranch, these conditions resulted in a crop of exceptional quality and character. Fruit harvested from blocks 1, 3, 4, and 6 produced an extraordinary expression of the vintage, offering a complexity and depth that have become signatures of the vineyard.
